October 2001 (we reported about). Now, after about six weeks this channel was put on hold until further notice.

Thus for the time being I will not answer any questions regarding the GRex PCI board, any more. Please, if you have questions contact T. Dellert in person." (ps) (Translation: mj) [News message: 13.
